Description Abstract This data set shows the lateral blast hazard zone for Mount Rainier (Hoblitt and others, 1995). The line encompasses a single polygon with one label. Six registration marks lie outside the polygon. The coverage is in the universal transverse mercator projection.

ANY USE OF TRADE, FIRM, OR PRODUCT NAMES IS FOR DESCRIPTIVE PURPOSES ONLY AND DOES NOT IMPLY ENDORSEMENT BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT.

Keywords: None.

Purpose This data set is designed for display or visual inspection only and should not be used for detailed analysis. The polygon boundary does not mark a distinct change between hazard and no-hazard areas. The degree of hazard decreases with increase of distance outside the boundary.

Supplemental_Information Procedures_Used A stable base map with linework was obtained from the authors. Latitude, longitude registration ticks were added to the base and used to orient the map on a digitizing tablet. Linework was collected in ArcEdit with digitizer inch units, a weed tolerance of 0, and a nodesnap set to closest 0.05 inches. A second coverage was created from the original. The decimal degree latitude and longitude values were substituted for the digitizer inch values in the second coverage. The second coverage was reprojected to a UTM projection with parameters of zone 10, units in meters, and a spheroid of Clarke 1866. The original coverage was transformed to the second projection to create a coverage in meters. RMS values were inspected during the transformation. After digitizing was complete the final coverage was plotted at the same scale as the base map, overlain in the basemap and checked for errors. The data set was renamed to rnrblst for Mount Rainier blast hazard.
